these maps do not look pretty for the majority of the growing season..........short on water and long on temps is not good.........

again, start watching and tracking these things............by mid to late March we will have an idea of what the front half of the growing season will be like..........by June we will know what the back half could hold........

this summer will be driven by TIMELY RAIN.........mark that down.............which probably means crazy volitility..........

so the real question becomes looking at those maps...........do you plant March 10th or May 28th...........

Re: time to start....

Still too early to trade drought in my opinion, but if someone wants to step up and play the drought card I have some corn & beans I'd sell you for half the difference between todays price and CX1' s price preciction.
